Hon S. B. Dole called the meeting to
order and nominated Mr. p. c. ZONES
as Chairman, which carried unanimously
amidst applause.
Mr.. Jones, on taking the chair, said:
Fellow citizens, feel greatly honored
IN being called to preside over this the
largest and most important meeting
ever held on these Islands. We have
assembled here this afternoon in con
stltutional manner, resolved to ask the
King for good government, something
which we have not had. Here are
gathered people Of all nationalities-
Hawaiians, Americans, English, Portu.
gueSc and Chinese--lnd we can pre-
sent our resolutions in firm, determ.
med and dignifed manner, because we
have determined to have what we ask.
We have prepared resolutions, which
will be presented by Hon. l.. A.
Thurston, after which will be presented
a letter received from the King, and
then short speeches will be heard. We
are so warmed up here by the large
concourse and the excitement of the
occasion that we want to make things
short, sharp and decisive. applause
Hon L. A. Thurston then read, in a
voice that reached the outer limits of
the assemblage, the following resolu-
tions:--
RESOLUTIONS.
We the citizens, residents, and tax.
payers Of Honolulu, act ny, as we
firmly believe, in sympathy with and in
behalf Of all right-minded citizenz,
residents and taxpayers of this King
dom, and being assembled in mass
meeting in the city Of Honolulu, on
the goth day Of June, 1887, do resolve
as follows
THAT the administration of the
Hawaiian Government has ceased.
through corruption and incompetence,
adequately to perform the functions
and afford the protection to personal
and property rights, for which all govern
ments exist.
2-That while some Of the evils Of
which we complain cannot be at once
adequately redressed and their recur-
renee prevented; and many others are
incurable except by radical changes in
the present constitution, involving MO-
tracted delays; yet there are some -.ns
which we feel must be remedied At
once before a permanent reform move
ment can he inaugurated with any
reasonable prospect Of success.
8. Holding these views, we request
of the King:
First That he snail at once and
Internationally dismiss his present
cabinet from Office, and we ask that he
shall call one Of these persons, viz; VIM,
l.. Green, Henry Warehouse, Godfrey
Brown, or Mark p. Robinson, to assist
him in selecting a new cabinet, which
shall be committed to the policy of
securing a new constitution.
SSeONd. That Walter NJ. Gibson
shall be at once dismissed from each
and every Office held by him under
the Government.
Thru, In order SO far as possible
to remove the stain now resting on the
throne, we request Of the King that he
shall cause to be made immediate resti-
tuition of the sum, to wit; Seyenty-one
thousand dollars ($7I,ooo) recently
obtained by him in violation of law and
of his oath of office, under promise that
the persons from whom the same was
obtained should receive the license to
sell opium, as provided by statute of
the year 1886.
